You can still use relative URLs. Just use an absolute path:

So both are actually relative, it is more a matter of relative from
where? A "relative" path is relative from the complete path of the HTTP
request, while an "absolute" path is relative only from the domain of
the HTTP request?
The difference is in the terms "relative/absolute URL" and
"relative/absolute path". An absolute URL starts with
"(ftp|http|etc.)://" and generally works against you when it comes to
caching, etc. An absolute path starts with "/" and indicates that the
given resource can be found by appending given path to the site's domain.
Using an absolute path gets you none of the troubles you mentioned with
relative path, and none of the caching problems you'd get with an
absolute URL.
